Hello all, my name is Timothy Brannon. I am currently 16 years old, and although I am a junior, this is my second year at BTW. I like all types of music because I like to have a good feeling for variety in how others express themselves. I've been singing since before I could talk. I have sang on both the teen and adult praise teams, as well as both the teen and adult choirs at my church since I was 13 years old. I attended Carver Elementary Arts & Magnet School for 2nd-5th grade, where I performed many times for the Choral and Drama magnets. I also played the 3/4 upright double bass during my 3rd grade year, and while in the 4th grade, I participated in the 2014 Honor Choir. In 9th grade, I performed the “Star Spangled Banner” and “Hello” by Adelle at Montgomery Catholic Preparatory High School’s 2018 Coffee House Talent Show. Last year, I performed numerous times with both the BTW Choral and Musical Theatre magnets. One of the most memorable would be BTW Showcase 2019, where I was included in four pieces, including “Your Feet's Too Big” by Fats Waller. I don’t have a favorite song since I listen to a wide variety of music, however, if I had to possibly narrow it down to two songs, they would be “Your Great Name” by Todd Dulaney and “Have Mercy” by Eryn Allen Kane.

Hey guys, My name is Sani'yah Braxter. I am 15 years old. I'm a sophomore and this is my second year at BTW. I don't necessarily have a favorite type of music. I listen to whatever type of music matches my mood at the time. I've been singing my entire life. I grew up singing in my church choir and in school choirs. My first performance was at age 6 in the Black History performance at church. From singing, acting and dance I've evolved into the performer I am today. I don't necessarily have a favorite song but if I had to pick it would have to be "Untold Stories" by NBA youngboy.
ReplyDeleteHello my name is MiracleGrace Williams I am 15 years old. I am currently a sophomore and this is my second year at BTW. My favorite type of music is pop and K-pop music and it is my favorite because I can make my own silly dance to it and it is really fun and different to listen to. Some musical experience i have had in the past is all-state and a couple of solos at my old middle school I also danced well I still do dance. My favorite song is "Pied Piper" by a k-pop called BTS. This music also helps me concentrate on my work or put me in a better mood if I am annoyed or mad or irritated or even sad. But nice to meet everyone.
ReplyDeleteHi my name is Brittney Adams and I am 17 years old. I am a senior at BTW and this is my 4th year at BTW. My favorite type of music is old school R&B. I like this genre because I feel like that type of genre always expresses how I am feeling when I listen to it. I have been in many performances with the BTW choir, but my favorite one is The Black History Performance. I really enjoy this one because i get to express my love of poetry. Also, I encourage everyone to try out for this one it is really a great experience. I can't wait to meet you guys!
ReplyDeleteHey everyone! My name is Asia Robinson and I am 14 years old. I am also a freshman at BTW, which makes this my first year here. My favorite type of music is R&B, preferably old school, because I believe that it has more meaning and more emotion than most genres. I began professionally singing at the age of 4 for my church choir and gradually moved on to singing for Garrett Elementary’s choir. I have also performed in many seasonal choir and drama performances at Baldwin Arts and Academics Magnet School. My favorite performance of all time would have to be the Spring musical that was held during my 8th grade year because it included my first real solo. My favorite song would have to be “Nothing Even Matters” by Lauryn Hill.
ReplyDeleteHi, my name is Serena Waters and I am fifteen years old and this is my second year at BTW. My favorite genre of music is R&B. R&B is the type of music that is real and can give many emotions. I really started singing when I was around 5. I got my first solo at Brewbaker during my kindergarten graduation, singing our song. This was when I realized that I actually loved to sing because when I was younger I did many activities. From then on, I have been singing ever since. Currently, my favorite song is" Honesty" by Pink Sweat$. I am very excited to get to know each and every one of you and I hope you all have a great year!

Hello my fellow choral members! My name in the system is Meredith Hataway, but most people call me Eliana (Ehl/ee/ah/nuh) or Ellie. I am in the GRADUATING CLASS OF 2020 *insert various cheers* and this is my fourth year of sporting that yellowjacket title. My absolute favorite genre of music is Broadway because it doesnt have a standard outline to follow in regards to length or range. Broadway also is an amazing outlet for me because whenever I am having a rough day, I turn on my music and belt everything away.
ReplyDeleteAs far as musical experiences go, I really started singing when I was in 4th grade. I was put in Bear's choir and from that day forward- choir was my happy place. I became enthralled with the way harmonies fit with everything else and how the accompaniment was able to put everything together, however (and this is directed towards Mr. M. E. Williams) this does NOT under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES mean that I enjoy theory. Eighth grade was my first "real" experience though, I was selected to be in the All-State Choir; it was an absolutely amazing experience and I would lpove to do it again. My favorite Song really depends on what I want to listen to, if I am feeling positive I would probably listen to "The Next Ten Minutes Ago" from R&H's Cinderella and The Last Five Years. But that is more of a slower song so if I want something upbeat I'd go for something from the musicals "Something Rotten" or "The Prom." These songs are not set in stone as my "favorite" though, because that is frankly offensive to the theatre realm to pick one show, much less one song.
*DISCLAIMER: I know this entire post is extra but if there is one thing to know about me, its that I am EXTRA*

Wassup guys! My name is Alexis Baker and I'm a 16 year old junior. This is actually my first year at BTW because I am originally from Auburn. My favorite music genre is R&B Soul, but I have recently been obsessed with rap. These are my favorite genres because they really hit different and the artists I listen to are relatable. I took part in choir at Auburn and Lanier; I also had a solo at Lanier. I performed at the mayor's ball 2 years in a row, and I've done Allstate. My favorite songs are "I need" by Clark Beckham, "Vain" by Kirby, "Wells Fargo" by Earth Gang, and "Adolescents" by J.Cole.
ReplyDeleteHey!! I am Amber Donald and I'm 17 year old senior here at BTW Magnet. I have been in the Choral Magnet since I was a freshman. My favorite genres of music are R&B, Gospel, Pop and Rap. These are the types of music I listened to as a child so they are forever engraved in my soul but I commonly do enjoy listening to various genres beyond those. I was in the choir at Carver Elementary and Baldwin, I am apart of the Ellis Youth Choir at church and have performed with Tri-M Music Honor Society around Montgomery. My favorite song is "Free Yourself" by Fantasia, my favorite artist, because it reminds me of my aunt and I singing in the car on long car rides.

My favorite genres of music include: Gospel, Rap, and R&B. These are my favorite because whenever I'm listening to them, I either get hype, calm, or holy. As a child, I grew up listening to Gospel and R&B and gradually started to like Rap. I have been in many choirs all my life from singing in the Church choir to singing in the choir at Carver Elementary, Baldwin, and BTW. My favorite songs include "Check dis" by TLE Cinco, Dirty Laundry by Kelly Rowland, "Joker" by Young Nudy, "ILL" by Young Dolph and Key Glock, "Dance for you" by Beyonce',"For the Good of them by Milton Brunson, and "Perfect Peace" by Marvin Sapp.

ReplyDeleteHello my name is Amilia Edwards. I am a junior and this is my third year at Booker T. Washington Magnet High. I don't exactly have a favorite genre of music or a favorite song. I like to listen to songs that I can relate to on a personal level. I began to sing around the age of 10. I started singing in my school and church choir as well as singing at church events in other cities. I took piano lessons for a short time where I learned the basic levels of piano theory.
ReplyDeleteHi, my name is Marti Baine and I am 14 years old. This is my freshman year at BTW . My favorite type of music is Hip-Hop.It is my favorite type of music mainly because of the feeling I get from hearing the gritty yet realistic lyrics of the time we live in and how the environment most people live in isn’t the ideal environment to live in. Some of the musical experiences that I have had were performing in elementary and middle school choir. Also, I have performed pieces on the piano in elementary and middle school. My favorite song honestly is “Before I Let Go” by Franklin Beverly And Maze.

Hello my name is Jamiryah Townsend. I am a sophomore and this is my second year at BTW. I don't actually have a favorite genre of music but I mostly listen to Old school R&B, Hip Hop and R&B, and rap. I listen to these songs because they feed my soul and it gives me so much confidence in myself. I began singing around the age of 2. I started singing at my church, daycare, and school at a really young age. My first solo was in 3rd grade during a black history concert singing "Dancing in the Street".My second solo was in the 6th grade when I performed the solo singing "Joyful, Joyful from the movie "Sister Act 2". During the time I was 8, I performed for talent shows and modeling agencies. I won a few times I could have had an contract by now but it just wasn't worth it. My favorite artists would be Luke James,SWV,702,New Edition, Layton Greene, Koryn Hawthorne, and Aaliyah. These artists have completely unique sounds that are simply amazing and I just love listening to them. My favorite songs would be "GET IT TOGETHER" by 702 and "THESE ARMS" by Luke James.
ReplyDeleteHello, my name is Alexis Swinney. I am 16 and currently a junior at BTW. This is my first year attending and i am really excited about it! My favorite type of music is all music to be honest, but if i had to choose which one i listened to the most, it would be Christian/Gospel and....Country. I absolutely love country music and I love Gospel even more, not only because that's what i grew up on, but i like those genres because they are amazing. I've been singing for as long as i can remember. i started my grandmas church with my sisters as a group (3 sisters who are all older than me, i'm the youngest) we went to different churches and since my parents are pastors, our talents definitely got put in the spotlight a lot. we sung at nursing homes for the people there and we often sang whenever we felt lead to in hospitals. Two of my favorite songs are, "For Your Glory" by Tasha Cobbs and "Make Room" Jonathan Mcreynolds.

Hip Hop- Yk Osiris' "Worth It"
and last but not least

Hello, my name is Xavier Carmichael. I am 16 years old. This is my 3rd year attending BTW Magnet High School. I like rap and gospel music, and every now and then some R&B. My favorite genre of music is gospel because it's the sort of music that speaks to your soul. Gospel makes you happy when your singing the songs i like how gospel can have both rapping and singing its not limited to just singing or just rapping. This is actually my first time singing. I mostly love playing gospel songs on piano because it makes other people happy. I have taken no prior vocal lessons or anything relating to singing. My favorite song is "Victory" by Yolanda Adams.
ReplyDeleteHey everybody I'm Amory Scott. I am 14 years of age. I am a freshman so technically this would be my first year at Booker T. Washington Magnet High. My favorite genre of music would be R&B and Hip Hop. Both types of music give off a relaxing vibe .I was in two plays which was Jesus's Birth and The Black History program at my elementary school,and I was also in the choir at my church.I don't necessarily have a favorite song but the best out of all of the songs i like would be (Did it Again -Lil Tecca)
ReplyDeleteMy name is Ni'emah and I am currently 16. I have attended BTW for 3 years #JUNIORSZN. I love all kinds of music and I do not have a favorite. When a song is unique and unlike any other song I've heard before it automatically becomes my favorite. I've had a love for all music since i was a baby. In the past I would sing at funerals and church events every time my grandmother made me. Other than that I used to be a part of a music making group in which we would perform at different events. I love making music with instruments such as the piano as well. I do not have a favorite song but the most recent songs that I've frequently listened to are "Paper Planes" by M.I.A and "Better Dayz" by Tupac Shakur.
ReplyDeleteHello, my name is Miya Long. I am 14 years old. This is my first year at Booker T. Washington Magnet High. My favorite type of music is R&B, because it is more relatable and usually has a relaxing beat. I have been in choir for 5 years and played the clarinet for 1 year. I have been in several plays and I was in Honor choir for 1 year. My favorite song is "Never Enough" by Loren Allred.
ReplyDeleteHello everyone! My name is Terryn Williams and I'm 14 years old. Currently, I am a freshman at Booker T. Washington Magnet Highschool. My favorite types of music are mostly R&B, Hip Hop, Soul, and my absolute favorite type is called lo-fi hip hop! It's an underrated genre of music, but it's hip hop but more toned down and chilled. I usually listen to several playlists of it when I'm doing my homework or studying. My choral journey began in 7th grade at Johnnie R. Carr Middle School when I unwillingly got put into choir as an elective. At first I didn't think I'd enjoy it, but now I'm in love with it! During my two years of it the infamous Carr Choraliers won several first places including the Alabama National Fair Choral Competition and the Peanut Festival as well. We were also invited to sing at Troy University for their annual Black History Month program for two years in a row. We also traveled to Florida to participate in the Universal Studios Music USA choral competition and we also won for two years in a row. I have many favorite songs but my top four are Resonance by HOME, Sunflower by Swae Lee ft. Post Malone, Can't Hold Us by Macklemore ft. Ray Dalton, and Statues by Eden. All of these songs never fail to put me in a good mood or help me cope through hard times. I hope to have many great times and experiences with you all!

ReplyDeleteHi evryone, my name is Isaiah Wilson, I am 16 years old and this is my third year at Booker T. Washington Magnet High School. My favorite types of music are rap, R&B, gospel, and reggae. I like the first three genres because all 3 parts of African American culture are summarized in each one. I like reggae music as well because I'm half Jamaican and I love Carribean culture as well. In my elementary years, I used to be into percussion and I played the drums for my 3rd and 4th grade years. I have so many favorite songs but "God Bless Amerika" by Lil Wayne is a heavy favorite.
ReplyDeleteWhat it do, My name is Jordan Rhodes. I am 17 years old. I'm a senior and this is my fourth year at BTW. My favorite type of music is RNB.

My first solo performance was at Pops 2017 singing "Ordinary People" by John Legend and my second at Pops 2018 singing "It Will Rain" by Bruno Mars. My favorite song as of right now would have to be "Cutting Ties" by 6lack

ReplyDeleteHello! My name is Mercedes Ivey. I am 15 and have been at BTW for two years. My favorite genre of music is R&B because I just like the way the music makes you wanna move, and the soul behind some of the artist's voices but I also will listen to others like rap depending on the vibe of the song. I have been in choir in elementary, middle, and high school but in middle school, I was in an a capella group called "The Madrigals". I have many songs that I like to listen to but my favorite right now is "Shea Butter Baby" by Ari Lennox ft. J.Cole and "Black Girl Magic" by Mayyadda.
ReplyDeleteHi Everyone!!!! My name is Aerial Hutchinson. I am 17 years old and I am a senior. I have attended BTW for all four years my favorite genre of music is RnB but I dont discriminate, I love all music, especially music that I can relate to. My musical experience started when I was 6 when I started piano lessons, which I attended for 8 years, then I noticed my love for singing. I started singing in my church choir, but soon branched out to my school choirs. I have participated in Wilson elementary Choir, Johnnie Carr middle school choir, Honors Choir, and now currently BTW, I also sing aside from the choir on my own. I have anticipated starting a Youtube channel to broadcast that, but I'm still deciding. My favorite songs change frequently, but at the moment it is "I am here" from the Color Purple sang by Cynthia Erivo; and "Spirit" from the "Lion King" sang by Beyonce.
ReplyDeleteHello fellow songbirds and future stars! I’m Veronica Conely, and I’m a senior. I’m 17 years old, and this is my 4th year at B.T.W. magnet high school. I don’t necessarily have a top genre of music that I love over others; I really just like anything with a distinct melody in it. I have been singing in choirs since I was 3 years old, though a bunch of children singing doesn’t always give off the best sound. At Baldwin, I sang in the Madrigal choir, and I was actually pretty shy to sing in front of people; in fact, the idea of singing solos in front of a large audience was entirely out of the question. However, during my sophomore year here at B.T.W., I decided it was time for a change. Now, I regularly sing solos at pops and showcase. I’ve also performed around Montgomery with the B.T.W. Tri-M Music Honor Society, as well as participated in the Alabama SATB All-State choir. My favorite song changes daily; however, just today, I found an a cappella piece composed by Eric Whitacre called “I carry your heart,” and it’s really one of those works that you have to listen to all the way through to really capture the true beauty of the piece.

Hello Everyone!! My name is Asha Knight. I’m 17 years old and I have attended BTW for 4 years. My favorite type of music would probably be R&B. I gravitate more towards 90’s R&B, but I like all types. Since this is my senior year of high school, I have had so many experiences that it would be quite tedious to list them all. However, I have one particular memory of performing with the choir that has really stuck with me all these years. It is when we sang “Melodies from heaven” at POPS freshman year. I just remember I had so much fun doing that song and it was the moment I think I really started to like being in the choir. My favorite song at the moment is “Otherside” by Beyoncé. I’m loving this song right now because Beyoncé’s voice is just so soothing and resonate on this song. Plus, the end part of the song when she sings in Swahili is just incredible. The vocal range and pronunciation of complex African words presented in that one small section of the song is just simply exquisite and well executed. I hope all of you have a great school year.
ReplyDeleteHello class, my name is Kiera Hall. I am fifteen years old and I've been at BTW for two years now. The only experience I have with singing is being in musical theatre and singing in church. I've been in musical theatre for two years and we sing almost everyday and I've been singing in my church choir since I was 8. I don't really have a favorite song because I love listening to music. But there's this song called "I pray we'll all be ready" and I listen to it frequently because it's so uplifting.
ReplyDeleteHello class, my name is Kobe White. I am 16 years old, and I am a returning junior. This is just my second year at BTW and I am enjoying every minute of it. My favorite type of music is rap, it's not trap music just simple old rap. I like rap, because it's very cool how people can put poetry to a beat, and now it's called a song. I've had a couple of musical experiences. My first one was when I took drum lessons at this camp back when I was a little kid. Another musical experience I had was when I took vocal and piano lessons. The last musical experience that I ever had was when I was in the band from the 7th to the 8th grade. My favorite song is called Middle Child by J Cole.
ReplyDeleteHeyyy guys, my name is Mya Marshall and I am 16 years old and I have been at BTW for almost 3 years now. My favorite types of music has to be R&B and Gospel. The musical experiences I have had are my middle school choir, and church choir since I was a kid.

ReplyDeleteYo, My name is Artesia Harvey and I am 16 years old. I’ve been attending Booker T. Washington Magnet for 4 years(Senior Szn��). I love all types of music but I appreciate RnB, Gospel, and some Hip Hop,in that order. My musical experiences go back from being in my church and middle school choir to currently BTW’s. In middle school I had the opportunity to have a solo in the Christmas concert,which was lovely, but I vowed to never do one ever again��. My favorite song currently is Five Steps by Dru Hill. Signing out.

Hey y’all, my name is Faith Gatson and I am 16 years old. I’ve been A student at Booker T Washington Magnet High since my freshman year, my favorite type of music is Gospel because it’s very relatable and my favorite style to sing. I have been a participant at Alabama State University’s theatre camp for the past 10 years and now i am a worker for the 6-12 year old camp because of all the love and responsibility I showed while being a camper. I found my zeal for singing at two years old and ever since then my love for it has been unconditional. I sung at the Monster Truck Show, I was in my first professional play last fall entitled “Four Little Girls” and we got lots of publicity. My favorite song in the different genres I like include the following:

ReplyDeleteHii, I’m so sorry I am a little behind with the post. Today was my first tile hearing about the blogposts. Anywho, my name is Morriah Gordon. I am seventeen years old and this is my second year at BTW Magnet as a senior. My favorite artist are Nao and 6lack. I love the fact they bring a chill vibe to their music as well as soul. I am extremely shy about my voice and I joined choir to really help me build my confidence in my voice and as an overall person. So far, I have really enjoyed dancing and meeting new people. My favorite song by Nao is lifetime. This song has a more personal connection, not in a love perspective but as a young individual that has dreams to accomplish and I’d hope to reach my goals someday.
